Trump Media & Technology Group Launches Truth API to Sell High-Speed Access to President Donald Trump's Market-Moving Posts
Trump Media & Technology Group has officially launched Truth API, a business-to-business data feed designed to provide institutional investors with real-time access to posts from prominent Truth Social accounts, including those of President Donald Trump. The service allows high-frequency and algorithmic trading firms to receive information in milliseconds, potentially giving them a competitive edge in markets where a delay of a few seconds can result in significant financial gains. While the move aims to create a steady revenue stream for the company, it has sparked a debate over whether the administration's leader is effectively monetizing his public office. Critics, including Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff, have expressed concerns that the service may constitute a form of insider trading, as the president's statements often reflect official government policy. Some experts argue that the service favors wealthy institutional investors at the expense of everyday retail investors. Conversely, Trump Media & Technology Group has defended the move, stating that the information is publicly available and that the critics are creating a new theory of insider trading based on public data.
